To my dismay, the pack does not fit in the battery bay! The I-beams of the frame and the angle at which they sit pushes the battery up too high where the seat will not even come close to closing. I considered grinding off the installation brackets and squeezing the pack in between the two frame pieces, it I did not want to void the warranty. I ended up taking the rear of the cart apart and installing the pack sideways between the frame beams. I have about 1/4 clearance on the charging receptical and I’m all the up against the back bulkhead. I installed some tie downs to secure it and wired it up. It works great, but what a royal pain to install it.
I am open to any advice on how to do this differently or better.

Don't use the Roypow installation bracket. Cut one battery support out and bolt on new one to fit at end of pack. Drill holes to bolt battery directly to cart.
